American Humanism is arguably attracting devotees faster than any religion. Actually, YOU may have more in fellowship with Secular Humanism than ever suspected. Ron Renard heads Humanists of North Puget Sound and serves as a Humanist Celebrant. In discussion, Humanism’s long...

Possessing one of the largest remaining oil resources on the planet, and one of the least developed, Iraq has been a tempting target for foreign intervention by powerful western oil interests, backed by military force. As an occupied country weakened by civil war, can Iraq retain its sovereignty over its oil wealth in the face of a bid to control it by US corporations?

Why does the Zionist community, in raging against terrorism, forget that three of its prime ministers within the last twenty years - Begin, Shamir and Sharon - are openly recognized to have been world-class terrorists and mass murderers!

On June 8, 1967 - Israeli warplanes and torpedo boats launched a ferocious two-hour attack against the USS Liberty, an American intelligence ship operating in the eastern Mediterranean.

Myth that Jews - in 1948 Palestine – were fighting for their survival, 2. Myth that Palestinians left their homes – voluntarily - in 1948 to invading Zionists, and 3. Myth that Israelis extended their hand in peace The author – who dared this history and public discourse – left Israel because of threats....

As a journalist, her attention was on issues much closer to home. Neither a Muslim nor a Jew, Ms. Weir nevertheless became more curious about the topic of the Palestinian uprising. As she researched more, she became increasingly suspicious that American media were not...
